Rhiza & Raelene's Sweet 16 Yacht Party | Sneak Peek

My god daughters are absolutely stunning!!!  Mommy and daddy celebrate in style on a yacht.  Sneak Peek!

These girls celebrated their 16th birthday in style with all their friends!  They danced with their friends, mom, dad and sister and they enjoyed every single minute of it.  By the end of the night, I caught Rhiza & Raelene snuggling next to mom for a moment of alone time.  It was the sweetest thing to witness.  :)

You girls  are growing up so fast and becoming such beautiful beautiful young women.

Danese Family & Lizette's 1st Communion

Here are a couple of shots of Lizette in her beautiful 1st Communion dress.  As I took these photos, mama was in the background, crying.  She was crying because she told me as she sat there watching her daughter she thought, the next time she will see her daughter in a white dress it will be her wedding day.  Slow down Rose!
It is a touching moment for them as they watch their daughter building her relationship with GOD...

Before Lizette, I photographed the familia...

Wanda & Taylor | Maternity

Wanda and Taylor are absolutely beautiful!  They are adorable with each other.  I was in awe with Taylor because he would just look at his wife and say to her, "You're so beautiful" and he didn't just tell her one time...It was several.  Wanda is beautiful...and pregnant, she is absolutely glowing!

Jason & Cindy | Engagement Session

I literally was looking at Cindy and Jason all day yesterday!  I think they totally rocked out their Engagement Session.  Jason has been a long time friend, I mean long time...Kindergarten class!  So, when they had asked me to photograph them for their engagement photos I was so honored to.  It was fun and easy photographing them because their laughter, emotions and love just come out naturally.

And of course, Samantha, my cousin...killed it with her hair and make up...

My daughter | The Freshman

I don't get a chance to photograph my own kids but when I get the chance to....I will drag them,  kicking and screaming.  You'd figure they would be the easiest to photograph because they are my kids.  That is hardly the case.  This girl kept cracking up and couldn't keep still.  I was lucky to even get these couple of images of her without her rolling on the floor laughing.  Another day my child, we will do this again.  My daughter, the freshman!
